I like High Peak Autos, good channel and a nice guy. Wide spread of car types too.

I think Big Car and Ed's auto reviews are outstanding.

Big Car's are so well researched, really good stuff and I've wathced his entire content. Brilliant.

Ed is so Dutch it's funny. Once you get past his unique accent, the content really is superb. Highy recommended.

If you like cars, the channels above really are worth investigating.

I have also wathced a lot of content by Car UK. A proper motor trader with a pitch. Lots of interesting videos on buying. Aston Barclay haven't changed much since I last bought from them c20yrs ago. Still fast, still fun and bargains to be had for the brave.

I've been watching that Vintage Voltage

Good car conversion program where owners get their old cars converted to EV

What I don't understand is, the last 3 I've watched, and checked on the DVLA system, out of interest, is they are still listed as petrol !
Let's be careful out there !

We like to watch Car SOS and old seasons of Wheeler Dealers with Ed China.

These days of complicated electronic vehicles makes me think I'd have liked to have had some of my old cars brought back to new by an expert team

There have been a lot of car sausage repeats recently so a new series tip is welcome

I didn't watch the hill climb or tractor fix as not of interest to me

I've never been really interested in the way car shows are presented, I could the same about many shows.
It often seems to be more about the presenters than the cars.

But I do occasionally watch "car restorations" on YouTube, as long as they don't include someone talking to the camera.

Managing capital effectively requires separating promotional playing funds from personal bankrolls entirely. Checking promotional setups through https://casino7.ro/bonus-fara-depunere/ points to options offering up to 1000 free rounds that require zero upfront financial commitment. Selecting games with high payout metrics increases total win frequency during bonus clearance phases. Disciplined players always stick to preplanned strategy rules regardless of short term outcomes.
I’ve been enjoying Ant Anstead’s stuff for a while, so I’ll definitely give Born Mechanic a watch. I like these shows much more when there’s a proper restoration story rather than endless shouting and fake drama. Car SOS is still probably my favourite though, some of the transformations are brilliant.

I gave up on car shows decades ago.
Those who presented the first series of Top gear were too full of themselves.
I believe a lot of men stopped wearing Levi 501s when they saw the state of Clarkson in them and realised they'd look as terrible.

I do watch a few car restoration videos on YouTube, but if any become more about the presenter than the subject, like a lot of TV series, I give them a miss.
